10/7/14The new Atlas Maior record 'Palindrome' is off to the presses! Congrats to the band for all their hard work and excellent musicianship. Atlas will be celebrating their release with a party at Whip Inn on 10/17.

Some info from the group:

Austin, Texas - The world fusion group Atlas Maior announces the release of their two-disc album Palindrome, available now in CD format and mp3 format from online music retailers (CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon mp3, Google Play).

During a two-month recording process at Bell Tree Recording Studio in Austin, TX during summer 2013, Atlas Maior experimented with a variety of instrumental and sonic arrangements, exploring different methods of improvisation and cosmologies of sound. Many of these exercises explored themes of symmetries in sound through different instrumental arrangements. The result of these sessions is Palindrome, Atlas Maior's 2014 two-disc album comprised entirely of live improvised material from these studio sessions. The album also features instrumentalist and recording engineer Gary Calhoun James (upright bass, harmonium) and special guests Sari Andoni ('ud) and Bob Hoffnar (pedal steel guitar).

The release of Palindrome caps off an exciting year of growth for Atlas Maior, which included an international tour in Turkey and Spain, placement of a track from Palindrome in Marrakesh, Morocco's 5th Biennial Art Festival, and a proclamation by Austin's City Council of “Atlas Maior Day” on March 27, 2014.

Atlas Maior will celebrate the debut of Palindrome by hosting an album release party Friday October 17th, 2014 (9:00pm-11:00pm) at Whip In (1950 S I H 35, Austin, TX 78704), featuring special guests Sari Andoni and Gary Calhoun James. Event Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/732906563454662/
